The idea of tearing little children from the arms of their parents, putting them into detention cages, and then making a big deal about an executive order which may do absolutely nothing for these 2,300 children is literally beyond belief.

There are some contradictions it appears to some outside observers.

Thank you. Madam President, I raise a point of order that the pending measure violates section 4106 of H. Con. Res. 71, the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the…

today the Senate will approve its version of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act. It is right and fitting to name this bill after the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who has for years been a stalwart…

The bottom line is you do not believe--tell me that you do not believe that we can import safe, lower cost prescription drugs from Canada.

My amendment would increase the VA medical services account by $5 million for the purpose of strengthening the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry. Burn pits, as you know, Mr. Chairman, were commonly used on U.S. military sites…

I oppose the confirmation of Kenneth Marcus to be Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the Department of Education. Mr. Marcus has a long record of targeting First Amendment- protected speech and scholarship of people with whom he…

I have concerns that the Registry is not being used to its greatest potential to communicate with veterans exposed to burn pits who are worried about their current and long-term health and well-being.
